It was kneeling on the floor at its master’s side. Master had his hand in its hair. A man was dragged into the room his hands bound behind his back and a gag in his mouth.
“Give me your hand puppet”
It obliged holding out its hand towards its master. Master turned its hand over so the palm was up. He placed a knife in its hand. It looked up, eyes wide and questioning. It opened its mouth to ask a question but remembered better. Good little puppets don’t speak unless they are told. It’s jaw had been wired shut for a month after that.
It hadn’t realized master had taken his hands away. An odd sensation filled it. It knew it all to well. It was like it’s mind has been disconnected from its body. Puppets don’t have minds of their own. It stood, body seemingly moving of its own accord. It walked forward with confidence it wished it had. It stopped in front of the man, its grip on the knife tightened.
The man looked up at it in fear. It would never get used to that. It hated what came next. It kicked the man onto his side, then to his back. It got down so it was straddling his hips. Before it knew what was happening the knife had plunged into the man’s gut. His back arched as he screamed behind the gag. Why was it smiling? it didn’t like this. The knife pressed against the man’s neck before dragging down across his sternum. It slashed across his ribs and collar bones before it plunged the knife into his shoulder. The man screamed and thrashed again. It wanted to tell him it would be better if he stopped moving but it couldn’t speak. The knife plunged into the man’s gut again, and again, and, again. It wanted to look away or close its eyes or something. It was covered in blood, it hated the feeling. The gag in the man’s mouth was staring to turn red with blood. The movement was swift and smooth and the the man was choking blood spilling from his neck and pooling beneath him. The light left his eyes.
It’s body came back under its control.
“Come here my darling puppet”
It stumbled over before falling to its knees in front of its master. Master lifted its chin with his finger tips, he pulled his handkerchief from his pocket and wiped some specks of blood from its face.
“Such a good puppet, why are you crying.”
It hadn’t realized it was crying, it looked down.
“It does not know master”
That was a lie. It was crying because It felt horrible. It never wanted to hurt anyone.
Just like that all its thoughts started pouring out of its mouth.
“I hate hurting people. I hate killing people. I’m tired of hurting.” It tried to fight it for a moment, not wanting to say anything else to make the situation worse. “I hate you! I hate that you act like you love me. All you do is hurt me! You treat me like a toy, I’m a human being damn it!”
It left and all it could do was tremble.
Master stood cane in hand. It scrambled backward to get out of his way. He swung, landing a blow across its face, knocking it over.
“Pants and shirt off and get on your knees.”
It did as it was told, shaking all the while. Old scares littered its body. Master kicked the knife to it.
A trembling hand wrapped around the handle. It’s hand went still. Master had taken control again.
“Master please,” it squeaked “it didn’t mean it.”
It was smacked with the cane again.
The knife came to rest against its thigh.
“It is your puppet, master, to be used as you wish.”
The knife pressed down, nearly breaking skin.
“Puppets do not think for themselves, they do as they are told.”
The knife broke its skin.
“People, they are tools and toys.”
The knife dragged across its thigh, leaving a red line blossoming in its wake.
“A person, it is a puppet.”
The knife slashed across its thigh, eliciting a hiss.
It continued like this, question after question confirming its status as nothing but a toy for its master to play with. By the end it was sobbing, both of its thighs covered in slashes. Master finally released it from his hold.
“I hope you have learned your lesson, because you will regret it if we have to do this again.”
